RE: Transportation Impact Fee Recommendation and Action
The Metropolitan Planning Organization's Traffic Impact Fee Task Force met on
December 15th to go over the final recommendation that will be made to the MPO at
the December 17 meeting. Basically after months of discussion it looks like the final
recommendation will include the following:
. A sunset of the Countywide Traffic Impact Fee Ordinance in December of 2005.
. Development of alternative funding sources for traffic impacts, which could include
part of the proposed gas tax.
. Appropriate changes to the county land use code should be made to include
Livable Communities standards for developers to use in their developments in lieu
of impact fees.
On January 14th, 2004 the MPO accepted the recommendation of the Transportation
Impact Fee Task Force, which sends the recommendation to the Board of County
Commissioners for their study and action. The recommendation was accepted and
approved with concerns attached as to making sure that an alternative revenue source
would be established and livable standards criteria would be developed in the land
development codes countywide. The MPO will be following the developing actions on
this item while it is being worked by the BCC. It is mandated that there be an update
on the item in 6 months. The only nay vote was Commissioner Seel. Commissioner
Hibbard was present and voted in favor of the action.

Subject / Recommendation:
Approve Resolution No. 04-02, to file a Demolition Lien for a total cost of $2,810.43 on the
property located at 915.5 Turner Street; Legal Description: Magnolia Park, Block 23, Lot 8
(Current owner of record: Jennifer V. Carpenter, 909 S. Fort Harrison Avenue, Clearwater, FL
33756).
Summary:
SUMMARY: On February 10, 2000, the City's Building Official found the residential structure
located at 915.5 Turner Street to be unsafe, unsanitary, unfit for human habitation, that it was
dangerous and detrimental to the health, safety, and general welfare of the community. The
structure therefore did not comply with the requirements of the Clearwater Unsafe Building
Code, and therefore was assigned case #UNS2000-00011. The property owner was notified,
however, the owner did not abate the unsafe conditions. After taking the required legal steps,
the City hired a contractor and the structure was demolished on October 16, 2003.
Staff recommends approval of attached Resolution no. 04-02, which allows a lien to be placed on
the property in the amount of $2,810.43 for all of the costs incurred by the City after the owner
failed to abate a dangerous residential structure at 915.5 Turner Street.

PINELLAS ASSEMBLY
Recreation Structures and Financing Task Force Recommendations with City of
Clearwater Staff Recommendations
1. TOYTOWN REGIONAL RECREATION COMPLEX INSTEAD OF GOLF COURSE
ToyTown Property
All in Agreement - Consensus Vote 8-0
Based on those observations the committee makes the following recommendations
regarding the 270 acres at ToyTown:
a. The ToyTown acreage should be used for the development of recreational multiuse
fields, not a golf course.
b. The County should appoint a task force to address the development of this
sports/recreational multi-use field complex at ToyTown. This task force would review the
needs, costs and options for construction and management. These multi-use fields could
include sports fields (soft ball, soccer, rugby, Frisbee golf, etc.), bike trails, extreme
sports areas (skate boarding, bmx track, etc.), food areas; running and walking trails;
areas designed for team competitions; etc. for the needs of county residents.
c. The county should seek input on the types of sports facilities needed in such a complex
from the recreational directors of all municipalities. Each municipality does not have the
capacity to build facilities for every emerging sport. For example it is not realistic for each
municipality to construct a BMX track. These types of specialized needs should be
incorporated into a countywide sports complex or at least be addressed in a countywide
recreation plan.
d. In addition to providing increased recreation space and opportunities for our residents,
the proposed complex could provide substantial economic impact by hosting invitational
tournaments and events.
Staff Recommendation:
Not sure of the need for the regional complex based upon the fact that the municipalities
are/have been providing the services. This goes back to the philosophical question for the
county to decide as to what businesses they want to be in and how will they handle the
issue of unincorporated residents and also the needs of all county residents. Staff does not
recommend support of this.
2. PUBLIC SCHOOL USAGE
Pinellas County School Board
All in Agreement - Consensus Vote 8-0
We recommend encouraging a joint use agreement between the School Board, the County
and all municipalities, where appropriate, for use of all recreational facilities. Further, risk
management research should be conducted to resolve the issues concerning the potential
liability and responsibility associated with the use of said facilities. In addition, research
should be conducted to determine how best to apportion operating and maintenance costs
incurred when school property is used during non-school hours.
1
Staff Recommendation:
The City of Clearwater and St. Petersburg have found the school board to be very
cooperative with using their surplus land and/or facility use. The City currently enjoys a
successful reciprocity agreement with them. Staff recommends anything that would support
or strengthen this.
3. THERAPEUTIC RECREATION ACCESSIBLE COUNTYWIDE
Therapeutic Recreation
All in Agreement - Consensus Vote 8-0
We recommend that City and County staff be directed to survey and inventory therapeutic
recreation needs and gaps in Pinellas County. They should explore the possibilities to
partner with non-profits and/or hospitals. Staff will establish by January 2005, a Directory of
Services, programs (fee and free) and determine budget estimates for providing therapeutic
recreation in north, mid and south county. Pinellas County should act as a broker and not
the sole provider of these services.
Staff Recommendation:
The City of Clearwater currently provides this service at the Long Center. Through the
county grant program we will be requesting funding to assist in this initiative. There are
tremendous partnership opportunities with this type of programming. In particular at the
Long Center location with UPARC located on site. The smaller municipalities are the ones
who struggle in this area. Staff would recommend support to analyze this.
4. MSTU
MSTU
All in Agreement - Consensus Vote 8-0
We recommend the County should increase the MSTU dollars currently directed toward
recreation.
Staff Recommendation:
Staff supports the MSTU being increased to support municipal recreation services which
currently are not offered in the unincorporated area.
5. RECREATION FEES
Municipal Recreation Card Fee Reimbursement
All in Agreement - Consensus Vote 8-0
We recommend that only households that qualify for the School Lunch Programs or other
such public assistance would be eligible for a "Municipal Recreation Card Reimbursement".
We further recommend that those households that qualify be admitted to their program of
choice without the need to pay the up-front fees to the City, and that the City involved
request fee reimbursement from Pinellas County. We further recommend that qualifying
households be limited to one "Recreation Card Reimbursement" per calendar year, per
person. When applicable, a family recreation card should be utilized; otherwise
reimbursement would be on a per capita basis.
2
---
Staff Recommendation:
Based upon the fact that different communities place a different value of recreation services
and their funding of the same, this really is not an equitable approach and not one the staff
would support.
6. GRANTS
Grants
All in Agreement - Consensus Vote 8-0
We recommend that through the "Quid Pro Quo" of a grant-funding program, individual cities
could choose to avail themselves of County funding grants for recreational purposes.
Depending on the size of the grant requested, the City could be requested to reduce the
non-resident fee by a negotiated amount for a negotiated time.
Staff Recommendation:
Staff position is this adds more bureaucracy to the process. A funding format should be
established to level the playing field for residents who currently are taxed for these services.
7. SPONSORSHIPS
Sponsorships
All in Agreement - Consensus Vote 8-0
We recommend that the study objectives should include the identification of market
potential; estimated revenue projections; various levels of sponsorship and naming rights
opportunities in comparison to other governmental contracts and offer the ramifications and
opportunities of each sponsorship level. This should involve synthesizing successful
programs and identifying good "fits" for the community.
Staff Recommendation:
Staff sees no objections
8. REDEVELOPMENT
Redevelopment
All in Agreement - Consensus Vote 8-0
We recommend the County and Cities explore the idea of an open space/recreation
component when a parcel of land is up for redevelopment.
Staff Recommendation:
Staff sees no objections
9. COUNTY ROLE
Food for thought - one of the issues that gets misplaced in this entire subject is the residents
of incorporated municipalities also are residents of Pinellas County and as such pay taxes to
support the current county park system. The county in this area needs to define its role as
even each municipality does not treat this subject the same but residents will move around
for services and the county is the common thread.

PineUas Assembly Heath Care Services Task Force
City Recommendations
. Recommendation Al should be accepted
. Recommendation A2 needs to identify what kinds of incentives will be
considered and the cost associated so we can estimate the potential budget impact
on both the City and County.
. The recommendations for Conclusion B need a proposed funding source and
more detail on how the recommendations will be implemented
. Recommendations C I and C2 should be accepted.
. Recommendation C3 should be rejected if funding for this has significant impact
on the city.
. Recommendation DI should be rejected if individual municipalities lobbyists are
expected to push for health care initiatives as well.
. Recommendation D2 should be accepted.
. The recommendations under Conclusion E should be rejected if funding for this
has a significant impact on the city.
--,
. Conclusion A
There appears to be a disconnect among service providers resulting in duplication,
inefficiencies, and lack of collaboration. The general public and business community are
often unaware of availability of programs/services.
o Recommendation 1 Statement
Create better-defined coalitions and new partnerships through education.
Identify stakeholders and create educational opportunities for collaborative
growth, learning and education.
o Recommendation 2 Statement
Develop incentives to reward innovative coalition/partnerships.
. Conclusion B
There is a lack of communication and outreach to the people, businesses and other
governmental agencies regarding the multitude of services available to assist with
improving the health and well being ofthe Pinellas County public. The lack of
communication and outreach negatively impacts the cost and quality of service provided
within our regional community.
o Recommendation 1 Statement
Utilize the Partnership for a Healthier Pinel/as to develop communication
opportunities
to educate other partners in the collaborative as well as the public, local government
agencies, health care providers and other populations affected by service availability.
o Recommendation 2 Statement
Develop marketing strategies to promote health related programs and projects taking
place in the Pinellas County community.
o Recommendation 3 Statement
Create a public information outreach program that would participate in studying trends,
measures and other quantitative and qualitative data to monitor the status of health care
and well being in Pinellas County.
. Conclusion C
In order to pursue improved health care and well being for the Pinellas County
community, it is necessary to identify viable funding sources. Directly related to funding
sources, is the identification of the optimal use of the available financial resources.
o Recommendation 1 Statement
Identify and pursue various sources of private and public sector funding for health care
and well being initiatives.
o Recommendation 2 Statement
Identify various options for using acquired funds for health care and well being
initiatives
and partnering with other entities where appropriate.
o Recommendation 3 Statement
Create a 50 I ( c)3 to assist in funding acquisition.
. Conclusion D
There is a critical need to identify and utilize and pursue appropriate legislative options to
improve and enhance health care options for the Pine lIas County community.
o Recommendation 1 Statement
Appropriate funding for a lobbyist dedicated to federaVstate/local health care
initiatives.
o Recommendation 2 Statement
Identify and pursue the change of specific rules/statutes at both nationaVstate levels that
benefit heahh care and well being initiatives by leveraging/generating funding (such as
HealthFlex Plan pilot; Medicaid reform; EMS funding redistribution, advocacy to
maintain levels of state funding for state administered programs).
. Conclusion E
It is essential to implement long-term visioning and planning processes to guide the
efforts needed to ensure the most effective and efficient provision ofheahh care services
